Since Watergate, every scandal, real or not, has had “gate” appended to it: Might I suggest “Hategate” for this one?

The NY Slimes is doing a great job fellating Obama and other leftists that they love.

The NY Slimes continues to be a clear & present danger to all Americans and poses a critical National Security threat while hiding behind the flag of "Freedom of the Press".

They are the epitome of the word PRESS-TITUTE.

Hategate is very good. I’ll stick with that one. Because he encompasses hate, learned by his pastor and supported by his wife. Barack just doesn’t know who he is. Not ready for President of the United States.

Like the Soviet show trials during their 1930s purges, Obama’s speech was not supposed to convince critics but to reassure supporters and fellow-travelers, in order to keep the “useful idiots” useful.

"Profile in Courage"?

The coward listened to that racist and anti-American venom for 20 years and even donated $22,500 two years ago to the man who preached it and never raised a word against it until now.

Obama only addressed that venom when the power of the Internet left him no choice but to do so. Then he defended the racist at the expense of his own grandmother.

It is a "Profile in Cowardice".

“Mr. Obama had to address race and religion, the two most toxic subjects in politics. He was as powerful and frank as Mitt Romney was weak and calculating earlier this year in his attempt to persuade the religious right that his Mormonism is Christian enough for them.”

Oh, is this opposite day?

I think Mitt Romney was great, he said he wouldnt abandon the faith of his fathers. I think it cost him the nomination to stick to his mormon guns, but how dreadful fo the NYT to diss him for his eloquent and heartfelt speech that nailed it correctly on the relationship of religion and society.

Meanwhile, I heard Obama threw his grandma under the bus to justify Wright’s hatemongering. Its race-baiting haters like Wright who *make* race and religion “ the two most toxic subjects in politics”. Obama was weak and calculating in his attempt to persuade America that he is a red-white-and-blue American. He cant be so long as hangs with the hyphenated-hating-Americans and rationalizes their anti-American viewpoint.

Why is it so hard for liberals to just come out and admit they’re full of ****?

“He is an out and out liar...now spinning his tale for political expediancy.”

Well, at least we got to the point of realizing he is a lying politician now, 6 months prior to the election.

It would be quite a hangover to elect Saint obama and then wake up Weds morning and realize only then he’s a leftist political POS hack.

Now ... how will this play with the lefties? the Indies? etc.

Maybe it is better to stand back and let the NYT pretend that Obama has put this to bed ... and then re-ask the question after he secures the nomination.

The word ‘shame’ and all of its synonyms were deleted from the New York Times style manual years ago.

He is an out and out liar

As Team Hillary taught us to synthesize: Obama must not have only been taking drugs, in this speech we clearly see him trying to sell them.

Shocking I tell you! The NYT endorses Clinton and fawns over Obama---shocking that leftists stick together!

BTW, Hillary is skating free while some conservatives actually do her dirty work for her.
